    Turn off main circuit breaker, remove panel front cover.

    Disconnect wires. If this was a 120V circuit, the black wire will be connected to the circuit breaker and the white will be connected to the neutral buss. If this was a 240V circuit both wires will be connected to the circuit breaker.

    Put a wire nut on the end of each wire and tuck out of the way. Put front panel back in place. Turn main breaker on.
